Now here is a real radio!
 
.... to think in my younger days, I tore such equipment apart to
salvage components for use in projects...

.... still, its' best use will be on movie sets for setting the
atmosphere of the time period of the set...

Nice radio,but too much money for the amount of bread.When I drove a
bread truck for Sunbeam bakery a hundred years ago,we used to put
Sunbeam sandwich bread in the Star foodstores and on the back ends of
the loaves of bread,with a magic marker,we marked them all 2/39.(Two
loaves of bread for thirty nine cents) Take a look at what one loaf of
sandwich bread cost nowdays.Know why Little Miss Sunbeam can't get
pregnant? No holes,Sunbeam bread is batter whipped,hence,No holes.

It's the best performing raw AM receiver available for such a paltry
sum. Those things kick ass. Power hogs, unfortunately.

You should try one some time.

One of the most respected radios ever built.

Ones in good unrestored condition cost considerably less.
